Members shreder75 Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Adrian Smith has to be one of the most underrated guitar players I know of... he's killer..he might not be a ripper like Vai or anyone like that, but show me one solo that isn't tasteful and doesn't fit...I DEFY YOU TO FIND ONE! lol... and his vibrato....to die for, man... he's always been one of my favorites, ever since I was about 12 years old...great guitar player..

Members Megadeth7684 Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Murray and Smith compliment each other so damn well. Murray has that ridiculously fluid legato style, while Smith has a real staccato lead approach. You can always tell who's playing a solo. Watching Dave Murray toggle pickup postions like crazy during left hand hammers and pulls is too badass. m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JKD Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 No complaints on any of the tracks from Somewhere inTime....a kick arse album.

Members argonaut4 Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 I like everything off that album. I still remember picking it up after school the day it came out. Damn, that was awhile ago...I was in Junior High.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t-rave Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 It's sad that Adrian is pretty much designated to rhythm guitar while Janick "Prancing Homo" Gers takes 99% of his former leadwork.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was PISSED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t-rave Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 yeah it's sad..Adrian hardly writes anymore either.. I feel the last Maiden album was one of there worst ever and if Adrian would have contributed more it could have been pretty good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost threw that album out my sunroof when I first heard it.. I got it cause when I saw them last they played Wildest Dreams..and it sounded cool live..so I thought it was gonna be ok...I haven't bought a maiden album since no prayer for the dying... don't get me wrong, I love maiden, and other bands..but I'm not above saying one of my bands put out a {censored} album..not what you'd call a blind fan some of my friends who like maiden say it was a 'good effort'..what the hell is a good effort!!! it amazes me.... but, ranting aside..lol...yeah, the last album was a peice of human excrement...

WHY:confused: :confused: OK, when Adrian was out of the band, it makes sense Janick would play his parts, but even when Adrian rejoins? I don't get it. Watching the live in Rio DVD pretty much shows why I will not see IM in concert until they dump Janick Gers.Totally agree that Adrian is a great player though!

Members ConcreteVampire Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 That's why I was Adrian in a tribute band! I (obviously love his stuff) Very influential to my style, I usually wouldn't have entertained a "Tribute" but I could not say no... I miss it! UP THE IRONS!

I didn't care for brave new world..although I thought wickerman is another GREAT song...not sure if he wrote it or not..definetly sounds like his style..

Totally agree that Adrian is a great player though! they really don't need three guitars anyway..yeah, they can have someone playing rythm while they have the harmonies, but they used to do fine without that third axe in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL!!!One thing I liked about Ad Smith is that eh did change. Murray still looks the same, plays same guitars etc as when he first started maiden. At least Smith has had different images, guitars etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
